auc should request the correct image (ie. -ubi variant). It more sounds like the sysupgrade broke UBI somehow, which is very odd (and hence recovery image would also gets corrupted). I'm using auc myself on that device almost daily for more than a month now and didn't encounter that problem. However, I've heard a similar story from another user before.
In any case, recovery using TFTP method should still work

  1. Configure your PC to have IP address 192.168.1.254/24 on it's Ethernet interface and connect it to any of the LAN ports of the E8450.

  2. run TFTP server on your PC and provide openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery.itb

  3. Hold down the RESET button while power on the device.

  4. Once recovery came up, use it to flash openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
